<p>It would be good to write down what to do with language feature requests that are opened as issues on rust-lang/rust.</p>
<p>Currently I close them and direct the author to the RFCs repo and the internals forum, but it would be useful to have a reference for what to do, so that we don't inconsistently enforce this. For example, I'm thinking that just transferring the issues to rust-lang/rfcs instead of closing it might be better (not that there's a big practical difference, but it might be nicer towards the issue author).</p>

<p>We also might want to add an issue "template" for feature requests that links to IRLO</p>

<p>Strong <span aria-label="thumbs up" class="emoji emoji-1f44d" role="img" title="thumbs up">:thumbs_up:</span> on these, I've wanted to write up a policy for a long time. FWIW I think the way to go here is for someone (perhaps you?) to write this up on <a href="http://forge.rust-lang.org">forge.rust-lang.org</a> and we can FCP it with T-lang/libs for their "areas" of feature requests, I imagine the policies might be a bit different.</p>
